Thanks Jude, I hope you (and they!) like it as much as I do. I think the olives are key, though I can't help but ponder ways to 'Breton-ify' it this summer.
Just the best thing to hear, Kate. I was a little worried I'd sold the cake short but clearly you saw through the self-deprecation. It's a lovely thing and I hope you and your guests enjoy it!
For stodgy, I read comfortingly solid. Anything too soft or crumbly is apt to fall to the ground whilst you're giving your park-life cocktail its due attention.
At home, you might apply the spuriously titled, 5-second-rule if a piece fell to the ground, but in a park?!?
A slice of deeply savoury'kek' will do very nicely, thank you.
Ken, you're right, I meant stodgy in the most affectionate sense! And as you point out crumbly is not always desired, especially when balancing a drink in one hand and a piece of cake in the other. Cheers to that!
Such a super cake, I’ll bake it when we next have friends for Aperos! Thank you

I'm going to Provence in July so am going to remember this cake if we invite the owners of the property for a drink or they invite us
